Transfer rbd center point transforming information into Maya Arnold st

[syzmatrix]

Hi my friends, I wonder if it is possible to get the transforming information of the rbd objects center points into Maya to drive the Arnold stand-in objects.  So a lot of the same objects can be easily rendered.

Thanks in advance!!

On Dop import node, change the import style to create points to represent objects.

 

This will fetch points with velocities and orientation. 

 

Now you can export this back into maya, But Alembic doesn`t work without tinkering

Thank you tricecold, I made a simple test file. I want to transfer the rbd center points information to some cubes. But it seems the cubes do not follow how the points were moving. Could someone see this file ​

Try to remove "pivot" attribute before coping

here you go.  I used an assemble sop to pack the geo instead of the "packed" option on the copy,  and also to create a 'name' attribute.  Then I used a transform pieces sop to transform the pieces (this is something like 1000 times faster than using a copy here).
